Reporting Student Absence

To have your child’s absence or late arrival excused (either in advance, or after the student has returned to school):

Email gladstone@vsb.bc.ca with the following information: 
 1.  First name, last name, and grade of student 
 2.  Dates missed 
 3.  Periods missed
 4.  Reason for absence(s)

The email will only be considered valid and therefore, processed, if it is received from a parent/guardian email on file.

Phone calls are not accepted to report an absence or lateness. 

The attendance record in MyEd will be adjusted to indicate that the home has excused the absence. Students/Parents/Guardians are encouraged to contact their teachers directly in order to ensure students have the necessary work to not fall behind with their progress.
